Subject: [ferrethealth] Re: Adrenal Disease Symptoms
To: ferrethealth@yahoogroups.com
A poster asked about food and adrenal disease,
and another of the moderators appears to have
accepted that post, but it has not yet appeared.
Here is my reply which may appear before her
question does depending on what silliness
Yahoogroups provides and I think she used a
different subject line but the moderating
moderator (:-) ) for that post may have edited:
There appears to be no relationship between
food type and adrenal rate because no
food TYPE is known to reduce Luteinizing Hormone
levels. Fasting does reduce LH
levels but that reverses when the fast ends.
Insulin levels do not appear to be involved.
Adrenal tumors typically happen in response to chronically
high LH levels.
See:
http://endo.endojournals.org/cgi/content/abstract/137/6/2565
Now, I have not had time to look carefully into this
recently in professional medical, veterinary, and biological
journals but others certainly can.
Providing enough darkness does reduce LH levels by
increasing natural melatonin level which in turn
causes a reduction in LH levels. That is very well
documented in many studies.
If others want to look more deeply into this with
REAL JOURNAL ARTICLES the trick is to use PubMed
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez
and look with search terms such as
Luteining Hormone foods
and
Puberty foods
since LH levels are involved in the onset of puberty
Now, there are some things found in foods and food processing
that can affect LH levels, like Furan which causes a small
reduction:

The FHL does NOT discuss food preferences, so stick to
journal articles, which makes PubMed one of the best places to
look. Google SCHOLAR (not standard Google) can also be useful
Not discussing food preferences is actually an FHL rule. See the
rules in the Files section at the FHL website.
Other questions that were asked to me specifically have been
answered in past FHL posts and I lack spare time so the
FHL Archives will be useful for those:
